Let's break this down. We're going to add 9238 and 7260 together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 0 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 6 in column 2 and get 9.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 2 in column 3 and get 4.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 4 and get 16.
